3692.The path to fandom
The ways in which the relationship between creator and fandom have changed do to the sudden availability of creators and community on social media and how it has affected the way media is created, consumed and distributed...Kevin Roche, Gregg Castro, Shannon MuirFRI 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm, Saint Louis

3797.The Odds of Gods (in Spaaaaaaaace!)
We assume that the future must be secular, because we assume science is incompatible with religion. This might not be the case! From alien religions, to the demystification of the divine, to the evolution of human religions, portrayals of religion in the distant future are present in science fiction. Let's discuss some of these portrayals and what we think about them from a variety of perspectives.Gregg Castro, Aviya Amir, Isabel SchechterSUN 11:30 am - 12:45 pm, Houston

3814.People of Color In Spaaaaaaace!
You can hate on the idea but we'll be there! What kinds of spaaaaace stories do we want to see ourselves in? What would make a POC-in-space story be different, aside from skin colour? What stories have we read recently that is about non-white people in space that we really liked, and which makes us look forward to the future?Gregg Castro, Eric Atkinson, Isabel SchechterSUN 2:30 pm - 3:45 pm, Boston
